Saturday In New York

Bingo, Redsock. Worst starting pitching the Yankees have ever had in a post-season team, and the "experts" who thought it didn't matter showed their NY bias. Mussina, the putative ace, has to be the biggest career underachiever of all time. Look at the teams and offenses he played with, yet the guy has never won 20. he's self-centered choke-artist. Johnson was 50% washed up before he arrived. Wright is held together by cewing gum and paper clips, and Wang is a good young pitcher who got a boat-load of runs to make what was more like a 16-12 season into a Cy Young contender.

The Yankees may still eke out a series win (George will bribe Dontrelle Willis to undergo a face transplant from Wright and wear his uniform today at a bragain price of 26,000,000,000 bucks), but a super-team this isn't.

Instead of defending Mr. April with your life, Steve Lyons, take a step back, realize that A-Rod bobbled the ball, leading him to rush the throw, which pulled the first baseman off the bag. Error. On the 3rd baseman. 100 times out of 100.

Hi all...this is too good to be true! But no jinxing here. 4-0 can turn into 8-0 as the scoreless innings mount! Let me know, please, when the Vtape comes in! And enjoy our Saturday. The last day of Yankee baseball? I'd like to think so. Love ya!!!!!

Am I crazy to want them to get a hit, because if it's a no-no, they'll have the excuse of "Well, NO team could've won against Bonderman today. We simply ran into great pitching. There's nothing we could've done."

(Don't thinkI'm actually rooting for them to get hits, though. In fact, scratch that. Gimme the perfectest of perfect games to send 'em home.)

Great job by Tigers. Total collapse by Yanks--bats, defense, starters (except Wang). The curse of ARod sprouting more legs. Curious decisions by the unflappable one with the lengthy nose hairs. Let the head-rolling begin. Also liked the frequent references to "America doesn't know who these Tigers are." Who has exclusive rights to Saturday Game of the Week again?

I'm trying to enjoy the Dodgers/Mets game, but I keeping hearing the name of the Dumbest Man On The Planet. I don't usually watch NL games, and we never utter his name at home, so I'm not used to it. Every time I hear his name, I wince.
